Is the mode 3 support only for the o3ds or will it work on the n3ds (assuming you can find something that uses mode 3 on the n3ds, of course)?

N3ds doesn't need mode 3. the n3ds can run extended memory games and ntr fine on its own because of the upgraded hardware on the n3ds. Mode 3 just helps the 03ds run NTR while playing memory extended games because it lacks the hardware to do it on its own. I probably didn't explain it right but I'm terrible at explaining things but basically n3ds doesn't need mode 3.

Well I was thinking that some homebrew might eventually use it on the n3ds for the extra ram, similar to how some psp homebrew can use the extra ram on later psp systems.

Homebrew already has access to the additional N3DS hardware resources.

The reason why Mode 3 exists is because on the O3DS the system effectively does a reboot when launching extended memory games and most homebrew apps get terminated at this stage. Mode 3 gets past that and allows NTR to continue to function. On the N3DS, extended memory games do not cause a reboot because the RAM is already available and therefore homebrew apps survive in memory by default. This is why Mode 3 is only applicable to the O3DS.

Ok, the n3ds equivalent of mode 3 then. Mode 8 (it is listed as 7 on 3dbrew but the 96MB mode is listed as 2 there as well)? As in the 178MB one.

I don't know if those modes reboot the 3DS, if they don't then it's not necessary, but in the event they does, then a new version could be simply created to support those mods since it's now a scan and not an hardcoded patch.

Anyway, first we should have an app that use this.

The patch changed, the new command is:
Code:
write(0x00105B00, (0x70, 0x47), pid=0x1a)

I tried this new memory patch on my 11.4 Old3DS, but my connection still dies when I open Omega Ruby or Moon. Do you know if this is patching ARM instructions? I would gladly debug it, with some context.

Update mode 3 to 2.8 you have to update both fyi. If mode 3 doesn't grab the latest update for some reason, you can find it on ops github.

To old3DS users: launching the app before the homemenu is completely loaded may result in a crash / error. So before launching it, wait a couple of seconds for the homemenu to be fully loaded.
Also, when updating the Mode 3 / Normal version you also must update the other one to avoid issues.

Taken straight from the op.

Hello, I'm trying to cheat within a game (no mode3) with NTR, but whatever version I choose the game crashes at boot (after the blink green screen) and appear the "Error has occured, turn off power" message. I tried to wait for the menu to be fully loaded, to delete ntr.bin e restart NTR Selector with different versions but all led to the same result. I'm using a O3DS, 11.4.37J emunand, 7.0.5 Luma and NTR Selector 2.8.
What should I do?

Thanks for your time.

Ask on the cheat plugin's thread since it's not related to BootNTR Selector. Thanks.
